A few winters ago, I was visiting my parents and wandered into the Yarn Underground and was promptly overwhelmed by wool fumes. My mother picked out some nice yarn, and I told her I would make her a sweater.
When I finally got around to it (that will be on my tombstone), I spent most of winter 2012 working on said sweater. I actually finished almost all the knitting then, but I had to put it into hibernation while we were moving and my buttons were still in storage. In April 2013 I pulled it out and finished it just in time for a trip to Cyprus, where my folks were living.
PATTERN: Sprossling by Anne Hanson. Well-written and clear, as with all of Anne's patterns, although I was not pleased with the waist shaping as written. My own version can be found on my Ravelry page. Size 38", no other modifications.
YARN: Palouse Yarn Company Fingering (100% wool, 700yds per113g skein), two skeins in an unnamed colorway. I think this is the yarn that was renamed "Featherweight" but am not sure.
NEEDLES: US 1.5/2.5mm and US 2.5/3.0mm. I knit very loosely.
I think it turned out beautifully, don't you? My mom sure does. Just look at her dance.
